Yep. Maintaining a site like that takes *work*. It was such a good idea, too. Not that there's anything wrong with sites like Flickr, Tumblr, Instagram, etc., etc., etc., where you decide for yourself which of your images get posted, but there's real value in a *curated* gallery. Ten years of editing the PDML Photo Annual has shown me just how many people aren't good judges of what constitutes their own best work. Where the PPG failed was in not finding an adequate way of incentivizing image voting and not promoting the resulting gallery, touting its difference from other online galleries. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
